said he thought the weather was tit then
but Mr.. CLARK only made q short answer
| and drove of.
William Edmondson, DR., said he Ind
gunned and trapped over the marshes OF
the CLARK and Ohurchman farms, and that
the Clark bank was badly washed and
broker.
Joseph GARRISON, colored, living near
Christiana, had worked on both the Clark
and Ohurehman farms. He described tho
floods of 1884 and the character of the
subsequent crops.
Alexander Everson said he would not
give $1O, 900 for the Clark farm, even If
the banks were in good condition.
George O. Simpson recently bought a
farm adjoining the Clark farm on the
south: he has knowledge of the CLARK
farm, and thought that with the banks in
good condition it would bring $50, 900,
with the banks in bad condition il would,
in his opinion, be worth $1,000 or 10, 600
less.
Arnold Naudain knew the Clark farm
we'll. and Thought il would bring between
$50 and $40 per acre ($l3,6OO to
$ls,OaO).
Joseph H. Gould thought the CLARK
farm was not worth $40, 900. II would, in
his opinion, cost $4,000 to put up o
good substantial bank along the river
front Of the farm.
Hyland p. Bullen was tenant of the
CLARK farm in 1879. He described the
character of the marsh, the condition OF
the banks and considered Il worth not
more than $25 per acre ($l0, $50.
Edward Weldin thoughtful CLARK farm
was not worth more than $l0, 900, and
that Il would take $4,000 or 81, 900 TO
put the banks in thoroughly good oondl-
ton.
Marx M. Oleayer was called and ques-

Grecian Dudes.

One of the biggest surprises in neither
garments the whole world round is worn
by the Grecian dudes one sees on the
streets of Constantinople Imagine a
sky-blue silken balloon, bottom side up
and fastened round the wearer's waist,
two Leat-ftting leg-holes made in the
bulge, and the whole bulb collapsed and
swaddled about the legs when walking
and you can imagine the lower story of
a Greek dude.
His trunk is enveloped in tight-ft-
ting jacket of some other shade of blue
with loose flowing sleeves and white fur
bellows showing underneath. His head
is adorned with greek fez, from which
an enormous black or blue tassel hangs
down his back. This ornamental ap-
pendage looks as if ever on the eve of
pulling the fez off the wearer's head by
its great weight. He wears the ordinary
brogans and socks and sometimes leav es
the calves of his legs bare.
Sometimes the Greek dude carries a
cane, but he carries it for use quite as
much as for ornament; or, at all events,
walks with it in a bus .ness-like manner.
He walks with a gait awkward and un-
graceful, but even were he a naturally
graceful walker his ungainly neither gar
ment imparts to him a decidedly gro
tesque appearance.
The chief delight of the Greek dude
is to sit in front of kahvay shop, smoke
nargilehs and watch the ladies pass by.
Those of his own nationality are wearing
garments but slightly different from his
own, the footholes in the inverted bal
loon being nearer the bottom, but that
is about all.-Phtsbuy Commercial

A Matter of Taste.

A scientific journal has an article
headed: GLOW to Taste" We haven't
had time to read it, but our own idea is
that it depends a great deal on what you
are going to taste. If it is quinine or
or castor oil or anything of that sort it
won't require any previous training or a
university education to enable you to
taste all you want of it in one brief,
hasty swallow. But if it is something
real good; something that you like better
and get less of than any other man in
America, you want "A neck yard long,
full of all sorts of back stops and dampers

of an unlettered man who tastes by main
strength and natural selection, and if

A Iusband's Mistake.

One of the most pathetic incidents of
the Exeter Theatre fire lin England) was
the rescue of woman, who was carried
out of the furnace of flame upon the back
of a brave man. He was with his wife
at the play when the fire broke out and
succeeded in dragging her part way to
the door, where she fell. There was an
instant of despair and bewilderment ;
and then he snatched a covering form
from the floor in the dense crowd and
struggled through the smoke and dark
ness to reach the street with shrieking
woman on his back. At last he was out
of danger and breathlessly lowered his
burden. Alas it was not his wife. In
the confusion and darkness he had res
cued stranger and left his wife 10 be
trampled TO death in the lobbles of the
theatre.--Ae,o York Tribune.

The Gait of Criminals.

A curious study has been made by DR..
Peracchia of the difference between Grim
inals and law-abiding citizens, as ex-
hibited by their walk. The author first
made number of observations to deter
mine the conditions of normal progress
sion, and found that in good people the
right pace is longer than the left, the la
teral separation of the right foot from
the median line is less than that of the
left, and the angle of deviation of the
axis of the foot from straight line is
greater on the right side than ON the
left.
But this is not all. Dr. Peracchia has
not only shown us how we may distin-
guish criminals in general, but has laid
the beginnings of the differentia dag
nosis between various sorts of evil -doers.
The following are the distinguishing
characteristics which his observations
have enabled him to formulate:
I. Thieves In those who are predis-
posed to appropriate the property of 9TH
ers there is a pronounced widening of the
base of support together with a very
long step.
2 Assassins. In those who have murder
in their hearts the base of support is not
as wide as it is in thieves, Since the angle
formed by the axis of the foot with the
median line is less obtuse, but the sinis-
trality betrayed 10y their footprints is
very marked.
These discoveries are of Il very inter
esting character, and if the criminal could
be induced to walk before the honest
man, instead of following him as he usu.
ally does, they might also be put TO
practical use, for then good citizens could
diagnose the rogue by his tracks, and
might thus be enabled to escaperobhery,
or assassination, as the case might be-
